Sullivan Door Co. makes donation to Walldogs

Sullivan Door Co. is making a donation to the Kewanee Walldogs Host Committee.

Sullivan Door, the State Bank of Toulon and Rumbold & Kuhn will sponsor a mural commemorating Kewanee’s cornhusker heritage. The mural is one of the 15 Walldogs murals that are to be painted throughout Kewanee’s downtown in July.

Sullivan Door Co. has been owned and operated in Kewanee by Pat and Eileen Sullivan since 1985. The company provides residential and commercial garage door products to contactors and individuals. The business and showroom are at 1319 W. Sixth St.

“The Sullivans and Sullivan Door Co. can always be counted on to step up and promote Kewanee,” said Dennie Packee, co-chair of the Walldogs Host Committee. “They’re always involved and they do great things for this community.”

“We are thrilled to be part of this exciting project. We have seen the completed murals in nearby towns and think they will be a great addition to our community,” said Pat Sullivan. “We also want to thank everyone on the Walldogs Host Committee that has worked so hard to see this project through.”

The cornhuskers mural will be at 105 N. Main St. The building is owned by Eric and Elizabeth Wolf, who also own Country Morning Coffee.

The Kewanee Historical Society is home to the National Cornhuskers Hall of Fame. At one time Kewanee was the center of cornhusking activities and the innovation of implements for the industry.

The Walldogs Host Committee consists of more than 50 volunteers planning and coordinating Kewanee’s Walldogs Meet scheduled for July 10-14. The committee is co-chaired by Dennie and Dianne Packee of Reiman’s Harley Davidson.

The Walldogs are a group of sign and mural painters from around the globe. Each year, they select one community to host a Walldogs Meet. In return, that community receives the gift of 10-15 vibrant, historically-themed murals.
